Selecting Members for Distribution List

Am running Outlook 2007. I have a Contacts folder and other smaller
folders. I have a Group distribution List named NWH in a folder named NWH
contacts that I set up in 2003. I can delete from this list but not add to
it, as the select members function only looks in the Contacts folder, even
though I am looking at contacts in the NWH contacts folder when I select the
NWH list to edit.
??? Thank you for any help.

Too little information to permit an answer. What is a "Group distribution
list?" Outlook does not use that term. How and where did you create it? PST
file? Exchange mailbox? GAL?
DL's do not survive transfer from one installation to another if you did not
transfer your data correctly. How did you transfer your data?
"Select Members" simply uses the Outlook Address Book view. How did you
configure the Outlook Address Book Service to display your "NWH Contacts
Folder" in this new installation? I suspect you never set up Outlook 2007
correctly.
 
Is the NWH contacts folder set with "Show this folder as an email address
book"? - Right click on the folder --> Properties --> Outlook Address Book.
Only folders that have been added to the OAB will be available for adding
members to the DL.

Thank you Karl, that's all I had to do.
